Chen Xudong asked: "Is it possible that he fell from the cliff?"

Huang Xiaojuan shook her head, looked at Xie Chengzhi and Zhu Xiaomin, and whispered, "They say it's under the big cliff, but that cliff is several thousand feet high. How can someone find their way back if they fall down?"

When a flesh and blood body falls from a height of several thousand feet, there is only flesh and blood, but no body.

When Xie Chengzhi and Zhu Xiaomin came to work in the countryside, it was only a few months after the female educated youth jumped off the cliff. They had heard countless versions of the description of the female educated youth, but only one description of the body: "There was only a piece of blood and flesh, and nothing could be retrieved."

Indeed, if he fell from a big cliff, how could he have found half a body?

Both of them were lost in their memories and were speechless for a moment. Chen Xudong didn't understand: "Since it's impossible to go to Luozijian to collect firewood, how did the person who was looking for someone go there?"

Yes, why would you go to Luozijian to look for someone?

Huang Xiaojuan also looked puzzled and whispered, "Yes, it's such a big mountain, it could be anywhere, why would he go to Luozijian?" At this point, her face turned pale and she whispered, "I heard from Aunt Liu that it only took two days from the time Li Changzheng disappeared to the time his body was found."

The mountains are so huge that if a person disappears in the mountains, he will often never be found again in his entire life, let alone two days. But they only took two days and found themselves in a place like Luozijian.

Having lived in this mountain for many years, everyone is familiar with this mountain, but when talking about this place, they all feel something is weird.

Xie Chengzhi clenched his fist, looked at Zhu Xiaomin, and whispered, "It would have been fine if we didn't know, but now that we know, we have to know the whole story."

Zhu Xiaomin looked at Huang Xiaojuan and shook her head slightly: "Don't say that we have left the village. Even if we are still here, it may not be easy."

Huang Xiaojuan thought about Grandma Li's situation over the years and felt angry. She gritted her teeth and said, "It's difficult for you to check, so I'll go and ask. Just tell me what you want to know."

Zhu Xiaomin was silent for a while, then said: "Now what I want to know is who went into the mountains to search and rescue? Was there... Uncle Qian?"

"Second Uncle Qian?" Huang Xiaojuan was startled and fell silent for a moment. After a while, she nodded and said, "Yes, not long after Li Changzheng died, Second Aunt Qian married Second Uncle Qian."

Chen Xudong interrupted, "Also, the exact date of Aunt Qian and Uncle Qian's wedding and Qian Dashuan's birthday."

Xie Chengzhi nodded: "Also, the financial situation of the Qian family and the Li family at that time."

Several people collectively suspected that Li Changzheng's death was related to Qian Er!

Huang Xiaojuan looked at a few people in turn and nodded: "I will go back tomorrow. If I can't come back in time, please help me take care of Xiaoyu."

Zhu Xiaomin immediately said: "We need to investigate this matter, and you should be careful not to alert the enemy."

Huang Xiaojuan nodded: "I know, I'll take the bill for this month's fruit delivery back and check it for a few days."

Zhu Xiaomin then nodded.

After Huang Xiaojuan left, Xie Chengzhi said, "Ming Zheng and I have been to the area below Dayatou. There is no road leading to the village. If you go around on the other side, you have to pass through a natural forest. On the other side of the forest is a steep slope with messy rocks."

"How far is Luozijian from there?" Zhu Xiaomin asked immediately.

Xie Chengzhi said: "There are several cliffs in the middle of the steep slope, ranging from five to six meters to six to seven meters, all the way to the bottom of the valley. Not far from there is Luozijian, about two to three hundred meters away."

It sounds dangerous too.

Chen Xudong was surprised: "What are you doing there?"

Xie Chengzhi said: "That year, Wenhua was sick and almost went insane with fever. The clinic couldn't do anything. The barefoot doctor in town gave us a prescription that was missing one herb, so he drew a picture for us."

So, they went to collect herbs.

Zhu Xiaomin vaguely remembered this incident, but she didn't know they actually risked going down the cliff. She whispered, "Could that be where Li Changzheng had the accident?"

Even if you die by rolling down a steep slope, your body will be intact.

The terrain of Luozijian is dangerous. Not to mention twenty years ago, even now that their tree planting area is constantly expanding, few people go there.

If people don't go there, there will be more wild animals. There are occasional leopards crossing the mountains, but there are mostly wild boars and wolves.

If you roll down that steep slope, even if you are still alive, it would be difficult to survive if you are left alone.

The three people fell silent. Everyone had already reconstructed the murder scene in their minds, but they still needed evidence.

After a long while, Chen Xudong finally asked, "Shall we... finish this before going back?"

Fang Qing had been suppressed, matters at the factory had been dealt with, and the three of them had already discussed going back. Who would have known that this incident would come up?

Xie Chengzhi looked at Zhu Xiaomin: "But what if we can't find any evidence?"

Although there is still some time before school starts, I still have two children at home.

Zhu Xiaomin pondered for a while, but couldn't make up her mind. She could only sigh and say, "Let's wait for news from Sister Xiaojuan."

If they can't find out, they can't stay here forever.

There is nothing else to do.

The two nodded.

Just as Zhu Xiaomin and three others were waiting for Huang Xiaojuan to come back, another car drove into the northwest Gobi Desert.

Lu Mingzheng had just come back from studying the craters caused by the latest volley of mortars when an orderly from the barracks came over and said, "Captain Lu, Instructor Lu is here and asked you to finish your work and leave as soon as possible."

Lu Mingzheng was startled: "She's alone?"

"There are also Captain Duan and the company commander's sister." The orderly replied.

"Two?" Lu Mingzheng asked.

The orderly replied, "One."

Lu Mingzheng nodded: "I understand!" He waved his hand, asked the orderly to go back, turned around and went back into the command center.

In July, the sun was shining directly on the Gobi Desert, there was not a breath of wind, and the uncovered ground was like a dry iron plate. The rubber soles of the Liberation Shoes would burn your feet when you stepped on them. Even under the shelter of the tent, you felt like you would evaporate at any moment.

The mother and daughter of the Lu family waited for four hours until dusk fell, when they saw a jeep driving towards them and stopped outside the camp. Lu Mingzheng jumped out of the car.

"Brother!" Lu Minghui, who had already drunk a bucket of water, immediately went over to him and pulled him to complain, "Why did you come back just now? Didn't the orderly pass on the message?"

"I have a mission and can't come out." Lu Mingzheng answered, followed her into the tent, called to Duan Sining, "Mom." Then he called to Lu Mingshu, "Sister."

Lu Mingshu said helplessly: "Even if you can't come out, tell us. We will go back first and let us wait here."

Lu Mingzheng took off his hat, shook off the sweat inside and put it on the table. He then poured himself a glass of water and took a few sips. He shook his head and said, "I don't know how long it will take." After he finished drinking, he asked, "What do you want to talk to me about? We don't allow people to enter our experimental base. If you want to broaden your horizons, just listen from a distance tomorrow."
